Player Valuation: £950k
Now before I start, this thread is not aimed as a bashing of Bill Kenwright, I for one have a lot of respect for the man, we would not be in our current position without him, so here it goes.

After looking at the quotes from the shareholders meeting tonight, a number of talking points have come up, the main one being a quote from Moyes which stated, "We will be bringing in people and maybe not people who I would think are first team players; maybe squad players, bosmans to build-up the squad to cope with things like that (Europe)." Earlier in the meeting, it had been announced a club record turnover of 80 million pounds. It was also claimed that Everton'a FA Cup run was worth a total of 7 million to the club.

Add to this, the club was given a sum of £12,176,000 for finishing 5th in the premier league last season, shown on this website Premier League: The money table - Telegraph

Another point to add being that according to research, Everton are one of the teams with the least amount of debt in the Premier League with a debt of 26 million, only Hull, Stoke, Tottenham and Blackburn have less, shown here It's crunch time for Hammers, but how does your club fare in League of debt? | Mail Online

So why is it that summer after summer, despite finishing at the top end of the table, having one of the least amount of debts and having one of the smallest wage bills in the league, we are being outspent by teams in a worse situation than us. So back to the question, were is the money going?

To answer the question of this thread, the money has gone to Kenwright's theatre productions. There, i have said it.
 
Last seasons funds went into scafolding that kept Fellaini's hair puffy and healthy when he sleeps. FACT - see the annual report under miscellanious
 
500k each season, every season for the upkeep of the steelworks in the Goodison stands.
Old grounds are a drain.
500k every year since... ?
 
There is an H in wHere btw.
And health and saftey and the european court of human farts did not exist in 1889.
Goodison hosted world cup games in 66, bet your bottom sphincter it will not be hosting world cup games ever, ever, EVER again.

I am saying Goodison is now a stone around Evertons neck and we cannot keep treading water to compete and keep it going. Goodison is inadequate in too many ways. I do not like it, and I do not choose this situation, but for all my resentment and all my wishes and prayers I/they cannot change it.
Those with their head up their bumhole jabber on about the kings dock, what a crock of pooh, we cannot turn the clock back, why focus on something impossible?
Lets move forward, lets see more cash in the club so we can mix it with the bigger bullies.
Please, lets not choose to die by doing nothing.
 
Ok. But you are aware that Kirkby will only make us money if we constantly sell it out? And thats going to be some mean feat in my eyes. There are a LOT of fans who simply will not go to Kirkby.

So Kikrby could become an even bigger stone around Evertons neck.

And I cant believe you dont like Goodison. Bob, Ian, Bill, is that you?
 
I like and love Goodison, but it is not a modern stadium. The unwashed masses are taller and fatter since Goodison was last refurbed. Transport links are a joke (thats why so many do it by foot) Toilets, Beer & a Pie. Forget it. Goodison is not turning over the maximum profit that a club our size should be seeing. That shortfall is why so many fans are bitching and whining... "where is the money". Stop dreaming about Manchester united, and start realising the truth.
 
Manchester United have 3 times our turnover. Twice our attendances and about 10 times our recent success.

Im fairly sure we are aware we are not Manchester United.

But it was nice the way you totally ignored the points I made.

Ditto.

Could Manchester United get 75k into Goodison?
